"Fast car, make it go vroom, vroom. Take her to the Boom Boom Room"
Sadly I expected a lot more from this album. Even though the trap beats aren't complete slop like a lot of the music from this era, the high-pitched auto-crooning is still something I think is very hard to pull of in a way I'll enjoy it (unless you're Yuno Miles). I'm glad 'The Box' happened, and there are a couple of other tracks on here that I enjoy, but for the most part, it is not ... read more
THIS IS WHAT THEY SHOULD BE PLAYING IN THE CLUB! If this comes on, I'll be there in a heartbeat.
Ooh my goodness... this album is absolutely incredible.The production is so crisp. Those synths are straight-up Mike Dean-esque. Especially, 'DANCE...', which feels like an incredible TheWeeknd song.

It just makes lyrics like this hit way harder:
"If it wasn't for the pills, I wouldn't be here
But if I keep taking these pills, I ... read more

She also experiments with a variety of styles, occasionally poking fun at genres like the traditional kroegenlied, which is usually very male-dominated. That added layer of ... read more
I never expected a Jack Harlow record to leave me feeling this... conflicted?
Yet another white rapper pivoting genres when the rap lane isn't hitting the same numbers as it used to... but I have to admit, Jack leaning into this loungy R&B sound wasn’t something I saw coming.
What makes this conflicing is that the instrumentals are actually really nice and calming. They're able to create a loungy, smooth atmosphere, but Jack just doesn't complement them well enough ... read more
